Arriving in Goa

It’s very hard to describe the sensation of arriving in Goa, small state of India that was Portuguese India until 1961.

Being so far from home, seeing some many things written in Portuguese, so many Portuguese monuments and looking and talking to the people, I felt a true connection as a result of 463 years of common history.

Goa is without a doubt a place that deserves to be rediscovered by all, for its natural beauty, history and people. Also I see it as world reference in terms of tolerance and good relations between very different religious communities.
